Thank you so much for showing the conversion factors so that people can see that what looks like a lethal radiation level 40Gy once converted to Effective dose in mSv is actually basically no problem at all.

[@hedrickwetshaves1997]

Is this Gy/cm² stated as per hour? (For Air KERMA.) Or is "skin dose" and "Air Kerma" measured in dose per procedure? Are Skin Dose and Air Kerma the same thing? Sorry, I know you probably stated it somewhere.
